Internal switches in all-photonic networks do not perform data conversion into the electronic
domain, thereby eliminating a potential capacity bottleneck, but the inability to perform …

This paper describes a framework for fixed-length frame scheduling in all-photonic networks
with large propagation delays. We introduce the Fair Matching Algorithm a novel scheduling …

This paper describes a novel control messages delivery protocol (CMDP) that supports the
reliable delivery of short control messages in a high delay and/or high error rate …

An optical overlaid star network is a class of agile all-photonic networks that consists of one
or more core node (s) at the center of the star network and a number of edge nodes around …

The agile all-photonic network (AAPN) is a network that uses time division multiplexing
(TDM) to better utilize the bandwidth of WDM systems. AAPN uses agile all-photonic …

This thesis describes a framework for bandwidth allocation and scheduling in the Agile All-
Photonic Network (AAPN). This framework is also applicable to any single-hop …

This paper introduces a feedback control system based on Smith's principle for bandwidth
reservation and scheduling of all-photonic networks with large propagation delay. The …

This paper introduces a feedback control sys-tem based on Smith's principle for bandwidth
reservation and scheduling of all-photonic networks with large propagation delay. The …

The existence of multiple overlaid stars in Agile All-Photonic Networks raises the important
question which of the stars is selected for the transfer of a given timeslot. A scheduler …
